One way to make sure people are reading the rules for your game is to includce a couple codewords buried in there ; like you must have 'starfish' on your character sheet. Anyone who doesn't have the codewords/some other detail is just automatically refused.

Sorry for oyur burnout; I know the reason I personally don't play is that I haven't found a place with enough reliable people, and I don't know enough people in person to play.
